Chapter 435: Extinguish Your Peach Blossoms

This time, both sides played fast, and Little Wei Yuan responded very hard; the two sides played nearly three hundred moves together, and it was only at the endgame that the Seventh Elder was defeated, only by a thin line.

"Another game!" The Seventh Elder gritted his teeth, waved his big sleeves, and the chessboard returned to its original state.

Little Wei Yuan still pointed a piece on the 3-3 point.

In this game, Little Wei Yuan's response was much smoother; the mortals had already discovered some of the Seventh Elder's common routines, so the number of steps that needed to be calculated was greatly reduced, so Little Wei Yuan could barely respond.

Little Wei Yuan played one piece in the east and one piece in the west, looking like there was no chapter at all, but in this game, after the two sides played sixty or seventy moves each, the Seventh Elder had already collapsed.

After this game, the Seventh Elder stared at the chessboard, silent for a long time.

What he couldn't accept wasn't that he lost, but that he didn't understand how he lost.

Little Wei Yuan was somewhat uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether he played well or not, anyway, he just followed the response given by the mortals, and after playing, he won.

The Seventh Elder suddenly said: "The old man is going to review the game, you guys decide the matter here yourselves." After saying that, he grabbed the chessboard and disappeared instantly.

After the Seventh Elder left, Bao Manshan looked Little Wei Yuan up and down, making Little Wei Yuan feel hairy in his heart.

Bao Manshan clicked his tongue and said: "Can't see it, you actually reached the level of a Grand National Player in chess! Never seen Old Seven lose so without temper. To be honest, I didn't see how you won either."

"Did I offend the Seventh Elder?" Little Wei Yuan was somewhat uneasy.

In this game, Little Wei Yuan originally intended to lose after a hard fight, so that the Seventh Elder would be happy. But his chess skills were really limited, and he didn't dare to bypass the Human World Fireworks and play randomly, so as not to be seen by the Seventh Elder that he was actually a stinky chess player.

As a result, Little Wei Yuan just started to fight hard, and the Seventh Elder was gone.

Bao Manshan laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "That last sentence he said just now means that Yun girl's matter can be decided by me. Hmm, you kid won another elder, now only one is missing."

Little Wei Yuan only felt it was an unexpected surprise, actually winning the support of an elder by playing chess with the help of mortals in the Dharma Form. The Seventh Elder's support could be said to be the easiest to come by.

Bao Manshan was also quite happy, but he wasn't happy because he won the support.

He patted Little Wei Yuan's shoulder hard and said: "Won well! Old Seven likes to brag about his chess skills usually, I have long been displeased with him, but I couldn't

Bao Manshan suddenly withdrew his smile, turning serious, and said: "Let's talk business. You are taking the girl Yun away this time—what do you intend for her to do?"

Little Wei Yuan said: "I want to entrust a city to her and let her be its City Lord."

Bao Manshan was thoughtful: "You want to use the fortune of humanity to replenish her damaged Dao foundation?"

"Yes. Qingming is starting from scratch and has just begun to flourish; it is precisely the time when human fortune is at its peak. It cannot be missed."

Bao Manshan nodded: "That is indeed a method. What else?"

Little Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment, his old face flushing slightly, and said: "I feel that Senior Sister is still young and has a long future ahead; she shouldn't be betrothed at this time, so I intend to ruin this current matter first."

Bao Manshan said: "What else?"

"……As for the rest, it depends on Senior Sister's own heart."

Bao Manshan scolded him with a laugh, calling him a 'slippery fellow,' then sighed: "Even without you, I have disagreed with this matter from the very beginning. Has my Bao family really fallen to the point of selling our daughter? Hmph, everyone just thinks about breaking the deadlock, breaking the deadlock—why don't they think about why we haven't been able to break it for hundreds of years? Isn't it because we old fellows are incompetent?"

"If you take the girl Yun away this time, and you fail her in the future, then don't blame this old man for being impolite!"

"That will certainly not happen!" Little Wei Yuan answered very decisively this time.

After Bao Manshan left, Little Wei Yuan did not wait for Behind Bao Yun, so he left the small courtyard and headed to her residence to find her.

At this time, in Behind Bao Yun's residence, Zhao Fusheng was standing in the courtyard, clearly agitated and impatient.

He casually plucked a white-gold leaf, crumpled it into a ball in his palm, and said annoyedly: "Why don't you understand yet? That Little Wei Yuan has consistently avoided a key issue: status!"

Behind Bao Yun reached out, and a small, pale red flower flew into her palm, then gradually vanished. She looked at the laurel tree before her and said calmly: "I don't care."

A mass of dragon fire rose above Zhao Fusheng's head, and he said angrily: "How can you not care about such a thing? If you don't even care about this, then what else is there to care about?"

Behind Bao Yun sighed lightly and said: "Young Master Zhao, you are a good person……"

"I am not a good person!" Zhao Fusheng said categorically. He knocked his fists together, producing a clanging metallic sound and splashing a large spray of sparks, then said: "But I also won't let anyone bully you like this!"

Little Wei Yuan happened to walk into the courtyard gate and locked eyes with Zhao Fusheng. Dragon flames suddenly surged above Zhao Fusheng's head, and he smashed a fist toward Little Wei Yuan's face!

Little Wei Yuan raised his hand to block, but just as the fist and palm were about to touch, Zhao Fusheng suddenly stopped and said: "My realm is higher than yours; winning would be dishonorable."

Little Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "A slight difference, no need to mind it." He didn't want to miss this opportunity to give Zhao Fusheng a sound beating.

Although he knew there was nothing between the two, seeing Zhao Fusheng standing in Behind Bao Yun's courtyard made Little Wei Yuan's nameless anger flare up.

Zhao Fusheng frowned, dragon flames flickering on his body, unable to decide whether to step forward and fight. Although he wanted to beat this slippery, dissolute fellow to a pulp from the bottom of his heart, fighting in the Bao family residence was truly unsightly, and it would make Behind Bao Yun look down on him.

Little Wei Yuan was calm and composed, holding a stone in his hand.

Once the battle started, he would flick this stone into a corner of the courtyard and activate it at the right moment. Upon suddenly seeing a famous scene from the mystical realm, Zhao Fusheng would inevitably have his Dao heart thrown into chaos; at that time, beating him up without using the girl's yin-yang would be a piece of cake.

Anyway, the two were not friends, and Little Wei Yuan did not intend to be friends with him. After this fight, it would depend on how much money the Young Island Master intended to pay for these stones. Given the Young Island Master's face, it certainly couldn't be cheap, otherwise, it would be a lack of respect for Qiongshan Xiandao.

Who would have thought that after much deliberation, Zhao Fusheng actually suppressed his explosive temper and said: "Beating you in front of Miss Bao, she surely won't be happy……" Little Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "She won't mind."

Zhao Fusheng glared at Little Wei Yuan: "Shameless villain, would I fall for your trick? Hmph, if you hadn't used the momentum of fighting me just now, how could you have alarmed so many Elders? Your goal is to come to the Bao family to ask for money and people."

Seeing that a fight wouldn't break out, Little Wei Yuan had no choice but to put the stone away; otherwise, holding a stone in his hand was a bit conspicuous.

Zhao Fusheng stared at Little Wei Yuan, murderous intent rising, and shouted: "Shameless lecher! I ask you, what status are you going to give Miss Bao?"

This question was currently Little Wei Yuan's fatal weakness, and he was immediately at a loss for how to answer.

Behind Bao Yun suddenly said to Little Wei Yuan: "If one day in the future I like you, will you fail me?"

"I will certainly not fail you!"

Behind Bao Yun smiled lightly and said: "That's enough! Status and such are still early, and I am still young. Among our cultivators, it is common to seek a Dao companion only at three or four hundred years old; I am not one of those mortal women who must marry and have children at fifteen or sixteen."

Zhao Fusheng said sternly: "Zhao is not just looking for someone to bear nine children. I want to…… uh……" His head began to spew fire again, his whole body turning red. With Little Wei Yuan watching from the side, he couldn't say the second half of the sentence even if it killed him.

Behind Bao Yun said: "I know the Young Island Master's intentions, but I am still young, and for me, everything is still too early. Perhaps it will take a few years before I can understand my true feelings. Young Island Master, please return; I have matters to discuss with my Junior Brother."

Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment, then said: "Very well, Zhao will wait ten years for you first!"

!.

Watching Zhao Fusheng's tall, departing back, a thought suddenly surfaced in Little Wei Yuan's mind, and he shook his head immediately after.

Behind Bao Yun understood him well; one look and she knew Little Wei Yuan had another devious idea, so she asked: "What bad thing do you want to do again?"

Little Wei Yuan said: "I was thinking, the Young Island Master's Floating World Dragon Map is a peerless book under heaven; it's a pity to leave it empty like that. If I find him a woman who can dual cultivate with him, could the nine children born in the future be shared with us? Oh, I'm not greedy, four would be enough. If that's not possible, three is acceptable."

Behind Bao Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud, scolding him with a smile: "You, you really are……"

When this topic came up, Little Wei Yuan's heart suddenly stirred; for some reason, he thought of those Xu family youths in the new city.

Behind Bao Yun pulled Little Wei Yuan into the study, closed the door, and set up a formation to isolate spiritual sense before sitting down beside Little Wei Yuan and asking: "Tell me, what is this about status, really?"

Little Wei Yuan had a headache: "Weren't you just saying you were still young?"

Behind Bao Yun said: "Whether I agree is one thing, but whether you bring it up is another!"

A figure flashed through Little Wei Yuan's mind—the one pointing to the sky and scolding the immortals that day. He sighed secretly and said: "There is such a person now; affection ranks first, and gratitude and righteousness also rank first. When it comes to status, I can't get around her no matter what, so I have no way to bring it up."

As Behind Bao Yun listened, her eyes suddenly widened, and she reached out to cover her mouth, looking at Little Wei Yuan in shock.

Little Wei Yuan sat where he was, biting the bullet.

"You, you actually……" Behind Bao Yun patted her chest lightly, finally calming down, and said: "……No wonder, I always felt the situation between you two was a bit strange, looking like you could live and die together at any moment, hmph!"

"No, it's not like that." Little Wei Yuan wanted to say that his teacher always had great love in his heart, and his treatment of him was more out of the usual protectiveness of the Heavenly Azure Palace. But such things were truly hard to explain, and the more he explained, the worse it got.

"Very well, next question." Seeing that Behind Bao Yun didn't dwell on this issue, Little Wei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Bao Yun then said: "Since you can't give me status, why do you want to take me away? Just for fun?"

What kind of wild words are these……

Little Wei Yuan didn't expect this question to strike even closer to the heart, but fortunately, he had thought about this issue for a long time, so he said: "I have no ulterior motives; I just want to do my best to take you out of this current deadlock so that you can live according to your own heart. Once you achieve the Dharma Form in the future, you will naturally be free from constraints."

"Then you said 'I will certainly not fail you' just now—were you lying to me?"

"Of course not! If……" When it came to this, Little Wei Yuan couldn't say it no matter what. This was truly hard to put into words.

Behind Bao Yun, however, pressed on relentlessly, moving her chair directly in front of Little Wei Yuan until their knees touched. She stared into Little Wei Yuan's eyes and asked: "If I like you, will you fail me?"

"I will not!"

"That's good. Actually, I don't quite understand my own heart yet; let's spend a few years together first. Perhaps one day I won't care about status anymore."

Hearing this, Little Wei Yuan's mood was indescribably complex, both happy and apprehensive. Before coming here, he truly hadn't thought about the future, because the future was unsolvable. He thought that as long as he pulled Behind Bao Yun out of the current quagmire, that would be enough.

But now, listening to the meaning in her words……

While his mind was a mess, Behind Bao Yun suddenly asked: "Besides her, is there anyone else?"

"No." Little Wei Yuan instantly thought of the promise he made to Consort Yuan.

Behind Bao Yun gasped, saying: "There's more!?"

She suddenly pulled Little Wei Yuan and walked out, saying: "Let's elope!"

Little Wei Yuan was dragged out of the courtyard by her, surprised: "Is that necessary? We're only missing one Elder now……"

Behind Bao Yun dragged him straight toward the flying boat field, gritting her teeth: "I can't control the past, but in the future, at least for the few years you spend with me, forget those rotten peach blossoms; don't even think about having a single one!"
